My driver's side LED pack went out for the brakes. I had a flickering LED around the lower ring on the passenger side, too.
I took them back to a dealer (I bought them from Carson Toyota in California) and they had another set. They took a photocopy of my receipt, and I got a new pair.

All this means is Hold on to your paperwork or make sure you have documentation of the purchaase! I do have minimal light in mine until the new one arrives at NO CHARGE TO ME except the wait for the new ones! Warrranty covered basically!

If the dealer says and approves it like mine did! My local said they would honor the fact that mine were bought at another dealer because they are still toyota product! I told them why I purchased from another dealer and they said that was ok they would still honor the warranty!. After all they are toyotas product not aftermarket! and were just manufactured a year ago! Check with your dealer to be sure!or who you bought them from.

Don't they have a phone number?

I'd call them and/or possibly swing by.

Ugh! That sucks, bro.

You've had them 3 years already? HOW?!?!!?!?
They have a 3year/36000mile warranty on them.

And, the dealer I went to didn't even check them. I walked in, said what's up, dude took photocopy of my Carson receipt, hooked it up.

I'll have to keep an eye on mine... I don't want to have to take these back all the time because they go out.

It's a little unnerving. I'm glad I didn't tint my first set.
